I am using this configuration

```auto
input{
mongodb{
	uri=>"mongodb://localhost:27017/ebyat"
	placeholder_db_dir => "/opt/logstash-mongodb/"
	placeholder_db_name => "logstash_sqlite.db"
	collection => "amenities"
	batch_size => 5000
	dig_fields => ["property_ids"]
}
}
filter{
	mutate{
		remove_field=>["_id"]
	}
}
output{
	stdout{
		codec => rubydebug{
				metadata => true
			}
	}
	elasticsearch{
		action => "update"		
		index => "ebyat_amenities"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
		document_id => "%{amenity}"
	}
}

```

Can anyone say what i am doing wrong?  
Thanks In Advance

Try to change the `document_id` with this:

```auto
	elasticsearch{
		action => "update"		
		index => "ebyat_amenities"
		hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
		document_id => "%{property_ids}"
	}

```

Because if no more value for `amenities` the document will not added because the same `document_id`  
If you use `property_ids` it means if new `property_ids` as your documents added, the `document_id` will create new one.
